Then wentH5927 BoazH1162 up to the gate,H8179 and satH3427 him down there:H8033 and, behold,H2009 the kinsmanH1350 of whomH834 BoazH1162 spokeH1696 cameH5674 by; to whom he said,H559 Ho, suchH6423 a one!H492 turnH5493 aside, sitH3427 down here.H6311 And he turnedH5493 aside, and satH3427 down.
2
And he tookH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of the eldersH2205 of the city,H5892 and said,H559 SitH3427 you down here.H6311 And they satH3427 down.
3
And he saidH559 to the kinsman,H1350 Naomi,H5281 that is comeH7725 againH7725 out of the countryH7704 of Moab,H4124 sellsH4376 a parcelH2513 of land,H7704 whichH834 was our brotherH251 Elimelech's:H458
4
And I thoughtH559 to advertiseH1540 H241 you, saying,H559 BuyH7069 it beforeH5048 the inhabitants,H3427 and beforeH5048 the eldersH2205 of my people.H5971 IfH518 you will redeemH1350 it, redeemH1350 it: but ifH518 you will not redeemH1350 it, then tellH5046 me, that I may know:H3045 for there is noneH369 to redeemH1350 it besideH2108 you; and I am afterH310 you. And he said,H559 I will redeemH1350 it.
5
Then saidH559 Boaz,H1162 What dayH3117 you buyH7069 the fieldH7704 of the handH3027 of Naomi,H5281 you must buyH7069 it also of RuthH7327 the Moabitess,H4125 the wifeH802 of the dead,H4191 to raiseH6965 up the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 on his inheritance.H5159
6
And the kinsmanH1350 said,H559 I cannotH3808 H3201 redeemH1350 it for myself, lestH6435 I marH7843 my own inheritance:H5159 redeemH1350 you my rightH1353 to yourself; for I cannotH3808 H3201 redeemH1350 it.
7
Now thisH2063 was the manner in formerH6440 timeH6440 in IsraelH3478 concerningH5921 redeemingH1353 and concerningH5921 changing,H8545 for to confirmH6965 allH3605 things;H1697 a manH376 pluckedH8025 off his shoe,H5275 and gaveH5414 it to his neighbor:H7453 and thisH2063 was a testimonyH8584 in Israel.H3478
8
Therefore the kinsmanH1350 saidH559 to Boaz,H1162 BuyH7069 it for you. So he drewH8025 off his shoe.H5275
9
And BoazH1162 saidH559 to the elders,H2205 and to allH3605 the people,H5971 You are witnessesH5707 this day,H3117 that I have boughtH7069 allH3605 that was Elimelech's,H458 and allH3605 that was Chilion'sH3630 and Mahlon's,H4248 of the handH3027 of Naomi.H5281
10
MoreoverH1571 RuthH7327 the Moabitess,H4125 the wifeH802 of Mahlon,H4248 have I purchasedH7069 to be my wife,H802 to raiseH6965 up the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 on his inheritance,H5159 that the nameH8034 of the deadH4191 be not cutH3772 off from amongH5973 his brothers,H251 and from the gateH8179 of his place:H4725 you are witnessesH5707 this day.H3117
11
And allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were in the gate,H8179 and the elders,H2205 said,H559 We are witnesses.H5707 The LORDH3068 makeH5414 the womanH802 that is comeH935 intoH413 your houseH1004 like RachelH7354 and like Leah,H3812 whichH834 twoH8147 did buildH1129 the houseH1004 of Israel:H3478 and doH6213 you worthilyH2428 in Ephratah,H672 and be famousH7121 H8034 in Bethlehem:H1035
12
And let your houseH1004 be like the houseH1004 of Pharez,H6557 whomH834 TamarH8559 boreH3205 to Judah,H3063 of the seedH2233 whichH834 the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 you of thisH2063 youngH5291 woman.H5291
13
So BoazH1162 tookH3947 Ruth,H7327 and she was his wife:H802 and when he wentH935 in to her, the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 her conception,H2032 and she boreH3205 a son.H1121
14
And the womenH802 saidH559 to Naomi,H5281 BlessedH1288 be the LORD,H3068 whichH834 has not leftH7673 you this dayH3117 without a kinsman, that his nameH8034 may be famousH7121 in Israel.H3478
15
And he shall be to you a restorerH7725 of your life,H5315 and a nourisherH3557 of your oldH7872 age:H7872 for your daughterH3618 in law,H3618 whichH834 lovesH157 you, whichH834 H1931 is betterH2896 to you than sevenH7651 sons,H1121 has bornH3205 him.
16
And NaomiH5281 tookH3947 the child,H3206 and laidH7896 it in her bosom,H2436 and becameH1961 nurseH539 to it.
17
And the women her neighborsH7934 gaveH7121 it a name,H8034 saying,H559 There is a sonH1121 bornH3205 to Naomi;H5281 and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 Obed:H5744 he is the fatherH1 of Jesse,H3448 the fatherH1 of David.H1732
18
Now theseH428 are the generationsH8435 of Pharez:H6557 PharezH6557 begatH3205 Hezron,H2696
19
And HezronH2696 begatH3205 Ram,H7410 and RamH7410 begatH3205 Amminadab,H5992
20
And AmminadabH5992 begatH3205 Nahshon,H5177 and NahshonH5177 begatH3205 Salmon,H8009
21
And SalmonH8012 begatH3205 Boaz,H1162 and BoazH1162 begatH3205 Obed,H5744
22
And ObedH5744 begatH3205 Jesse,H3448 and JesseH3448 begatH3205 David.H1732
